Description#
The code uses the notevil package, which is no longer maintained and contains known security vulnerabilities. Relying on outdated packages, especially those evaluating code, can introduce serious security risks.
Impact#
Attackers could exploit vulnerabilities in notevil to execute malicious code, leading to data theft, unauthorized access, or complete compromise of the application and its users. Using unmaintained components increases the risk of undetected security flaws being exploited in production.
